Candy House Fundraiser starting November 25 while supplies last
This take-home decorating kit is like an easy-button hack for the traditional holiday gingerbread house. Will your family make Santa’s Toy Shop or maybe a home for a holiday gnome? Any way you choose to create it, you will be supporting the Museum!
The cardboard house creates a sturdy base so you can focus on the fun decorating. With a $25 donation to the Lincoln Children’s Museum, you’ll receive a kit that includes:
One sturdy cardboard house on a Styrofoam base
White, red, and green frosting
Cereal, gum drops, hard candies, candy canes, marshmallows, and other fun items to help decorate your very own candy house
